I'm just making sure because I've uploaded one of my Grieg pieces to youtube and i already have a claim against it that says "matched 3rd party content". :\

I have faced this so many times over my son's recordings. There are a ton of music rights societies supposedly working on behalf of professional musicians. If YouTube's crude matching program "thinks" that your work sounds like a particular recording of Martha Argerich that is owned by EMI, it will allow EMI to slap that notice on your recording. This has nothing to do with Grieg being in the public domain. It's about 3rd party content.

Follow the dispute procedure and tell them that there is no 3rd party content. That it is your recording, of you, in your house, using your recording equipment. Then EMI will have to judge your claim. Usually, they release it. I have had to fight them repeatedly, and sometimes heatedly.

Once, I actually got Norman Lebrecht to publicly embarrass EMI on his website. Through that process, I found the email of a lawyer at EMI, and he "fixed it" for me. Of course, a few months later some other society (Orchard, I think) claimed the recording on behalf of a completely different pianist. And I fought them off. Never ending process.

Thanks so much peter and Piano*Dad. I tried what you suggested peter but it kept up with the matched 3rd party content. So I will do what Piano*Dad suggests and dispute the claim.

it's pretty ridiculous because when you hear my recording you will hear that it sounds like someone learning to play the piano who still needs a lot of practice--nothing professional-sounding about it!

The dispute process will ask if you have proof of rights to use the content. That's NOT what you say, and not the box you check off. You are disputing that there IS 3rd party content. It's 100% your own content, of a piece in the public domain.

Too late to join in? I recently worked up To the Spring (43,6). Any good? No worries if someone else is already covering it.

I checked the list and see that Carey has been working on that one.

Beric, who was to do 5 pieces, and had them ready to be recorded had to have an emergency operation on his right hand yesterday and won't be able to take part in the recital (unless he plays just the left hand parts!!)

We now need homes for FIVE TWO pieces, so any of you looking on from the sidelines who wanted to take part, but found that nothing suitable was left, - here' your chance to be a hero/heroine

We've become a strong supportive community over the last few months - but now its being tested as never before. Lets show how a band of - desparate piano players scattered across the globe, can come together as a team as never before to face the challenge.

I thought we were doing private youtube. The 3rd party content shouldn't come up then should it? Peter, I could use the refresher "step by step" on uploading if you have one handy. I use youtube so infrequently that I have to relearn each time.

I was just thinking last night that the more of these Grieg pieces I do, the more I enjoy playing them. I was also thinking that I have worked on 8 lyric pieces (including ones I had played prior to this recital), and that it would be kind of cool to try to play and record them all over a period of a year or something. So I'm happy to help where needed. The only concern is that I'm moving back to FL next weekend, so that will be a few days without any practice. Still, I think I can help out.

These are all tricky pieces, though. I can do Butterfly and Brooklet.

BUTTERFLY AND BROOKLET Going once, going twice, GONE to the lady in Florida!

In measure 3, Grieg clearly indicates the LH play a two-note slur and making the 2nd note staccato. However, there is a pedal marking for the entire measure. This is pretty consistent throughout the piece except in instances where the chord changes mid-measure (i.e., m. 4). Still, there is no Pedal up marking to indicate the staccato should be heard. Judging from his other pieces, the pedal markings are pretty specific/precise - as in m.12 of this piece, where he clearly wants a lift before the next idea with no pedal.

I've listened to recordings of this done fairly dry and I don't care for it, but I was wondering if another edition perhaps indicated it should be that way.

Beric, if you're reading this post, you already know I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thanks Morodiene, you're always so generous. I'm sorry, but I can't give you any advice about your pedaling question, as I only use those artifacts by ear. But who knows, maybe I'll be able to offer a good piece of advice on the piano someday
